And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of Heaven is at hand.
General Conference.
PROVIDENCE permitting, the next session of General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, will be held in Battle Creek, Mich., Tuesday, May 12, 1868, at 9 o'clock, A. M. The different State Conferences which have not already made arrangements to represent themselves by delegates, will do so immediately. Delegates will come prepared to furnish to the General Conference the statistics of their respective Conferences. In proportion to the importance of the times, this meeting will be one of greater importance than any which have heretofore been held. It is hoped the delegates will come feeling a due weight of the solemnities of the present time upon them. Those from a distance will have to reach Battle Creek, the week previous, in order to be present promptly at the commencement of the meeting. It will be in order for scattered brethren everywhere to make known their wants to this Conference either in person or by letter.
In behalf of the committee,
U. SMITH, Secretary.
Michigan State Conference.
THE Mich. State Conference will hold its eighth annual session at Battle Creek, Mich., Wednesday, May 13, at 9 o'clock, A. M. Let no church fail to represent itself. Send delegates if possible. If this cannot be done, send letter. Let ministers and delegates come prepared to make the various reports which the constitution requires.
By order of committee,
I. D. VAN HORN, Secretary.
The S. D. A. Publishing Association.
THE Seventh-day Adventist Publishing Association will hold its eighth annual session at Battle Creek, Mich., Thursday, May 14, 1868, at 9 o'clock, A. M., to deliberate for the general interests of the Association, elect officers, and transact any other business that may come before the meeting.
By order of the Trustees,

Bible Class Report
By W. C. G.
On account of a press of other duties, we have been unable to prepare the Bible Class Report this week. The subject which has occupied the attention of the class for two Sabbaths is the epistle of Jude, and we hope to give next week, a report of the chapter in full. W. C. G.
Correction.
By Jos. Clarke
BRO. SMITH: Please correct for me the article on page 221 of the Review, 2d column, last line: “bare passions,” should read, “base passions”; and on the 3d column of the same page, 13th line: “It is impossible to control our thoughts,” should read, “It is possible to control our thoughts.”
Yours in hope, Jos. Clarke.
Note from Bro. Stone.
By Albert Stone
I WOULD say to the brethren and sisters in Vermont, with whom I have labored the past winter, and who are expecting me to fulfill appointments with them, that sickness in my family has called me home for the present. On the 25th of Feb., when more than 50 miles from home, at midnight a messenger informed me that my companion was dangerously ill. As soon as the means at hand would permit, I was standing by her bedside; found her very much reduced. Her disease is dropsy of the heart. At this date she lingers and suffers. She is patient, is favored with divine comfort, and feels that she is at peace with God and man. ALBERT STONE.
